Freshwater Sharks: Species of the Week

When most scientists speak of river sharks, they refer to five known species of the Glyphis genus, although biologists think there could be other species lurking in the shadows.

These river sharks live in India, Southeast Asia, and parts of Australia, though they are rarely seen and not well studied. Some are known from only a single specimen.

All five species are threatened thanks to human development, pollution, and fishing.

About Me

Sharks have inhabited our planet for 450 million years, since before the time of dinosaurs. If, in some small way, we are able to help people understand the vital role sharks play in ecosystems and the impact this has on all species, including humans, and also to dispel the myth that sharks are ruthless man-eaters, then we will have done a good thing.
